"...This prosperous businessman has seen great turmoil surface in his life of late -- the death of his only son in what looks to have been a suicide, his abrupt firing from the job he has held for almost 40 years, a debilitating heart attack -- and he has had to struggle to retain his composure. But he has just been dealt another devastating blow, a revelation of disloyalty by his wife LilyDale, and it has taken the fight out of him..."

"...Kyle Marler, part of New York's Flatsitter Media Arts Collective, is the man behind the machine that’s made its way here from Buffalo. And this Marler parked his roving vehicle beside the Chronicle’s offices for a few hours last week, because, on this leg of the project’s national tour, he’ll be presenting the LilyDale experience at Austin’s Pump Project...."

"...Unfortunately, besides The Return of Wayne Douglas, local country music pickings were slim. The Doug Sahm Hoot was just that, but if both Don Walser and Dale Watson hadn't each put out a deuce, The Texas Plainsman w/ "Yodelin'" Donnie Walser and I'll Hold You in My Heart vs..."

"...In a desperate search for independence and her own identity, she risks family, heartbreak and her standing in the only place she can call home.

"...At present, the AMOA collection is modest, to say the least. But the institution is enthusiastic about acquisitions, as was evident last month when the museum crowed about the acquisition of four works by area artists Dale Chihuly, Julie Speed, Bob Wade, and Sydney Yeager, and even devoted part of its gallery space downtown to an exhibition titled "Selections From the Permanent Collection of the Austin Museum of Art." That makes it a good bet that the collection will play a substantial role in the re-design of the museum...."
